SUMMARY:Women in Aviation: A Virtual Lecture
DESCRIPTION:Presented by Professor Patricia Chappine\n\nIn recognition of 
 Memorial Day\n\nDuring World War II\, home front shortages created a 
 pressing need for skilled workers. Women entered the field of aviation in 
 areas previously closed to them. They worked as aeronautical engineers\, 
 aviator’s mates\, machinists\, and more. Women also joined the WASP 
 (Women Air Force Service Pilots)\, flying as civilian pilots working with 
 the military. This lecture will focus on the essential work women did in 
 the field of aviation during WWII. \n\nAbout the presenter: Patty Chappine
